ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE

Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust
the oiler with the engine running. 

An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed
oil consumption, requiring more frequent
checks on the oil reservoir. To ensure
sufficient lubrication, It may be necessary
to check the oil level more frequently than
at fuel tank refills. 

The guide bar and chain are lubricated
automatically by a pump that operates
whenever the chain rotates. The pump is
set at the factory to deliver a minimum
flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the
field. A temporary increase in oil flow is
often desirable when cutting things like
hardwood or wood with a lot of pitch. 

Adjust the pump as follows: 

1. Stop the engine and make sure the

stop switch is in the OFF position. 

2. Place the unit on its side with the oil res

ervoir up. (OP7)

(2) Chain cover

The oil flow adjusting screw must be
pressed in slightly in order to turn. Failure
to do so could damage the pump and
screw. 

3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil

flow rate adjusting screw and turn in
the desired direction (there are three
incremental settings):

(a) Clockwise-decrease lubrication. 
(b) Counter clockwise-increase

lubrication. 

(c) Middle
